Nike Wedge Golf Clubs
When you are hitting a shot from a bunker or find that your ball is sitting in the tall grass five yards away from the green, a wedge can help you out of a difficult situation. These Nike wedge golf clubs are available for either left-handed or right-handed players. The shaft materials that are available to you include steel and graphite, each of which has different properties.
What are the different flex types available with these clubs?- Extra stiff: This is a type of shaft that has practically zero movements during the swing and is designed with distance in mind, as these clubs typically come with a small amount of loft.
- Stiff: This type of flex is designed for swings with a high speed. They offer some forgiveness during the swing in the event of a mishit.
- Regular: This is a type of flex that comes with a substantial amount of flexibility during the swing. These clubs usually come with higher loft amounts and are designed to be hit at slower speeds.
- Senior/ladies: These flex types cause the shaft to move substantially during the swing, which is why both of them are designed to be used by players with slower swings.
- Gap: This is a type of wedge golf club that comes with a loft of 50-53 degrees and is meant to fill the gap between other types. They are largely meant to be used in situations where a chip onto the green is not viable but neither is a full swing.
- Lob: This type comes with a loft of 60-64 degrees and is designed to be used in situations where height and spin are necessary when nearby the green or in the bunker.
- Pitching: This is a type that has a loft of around 40-44 degrees and is meant to be used for lengthy chip shots or full approach shots onto the green. They have a low loft that allows the ball to be hit both far and high.
- Sand: This is a type that was designed initially for usage in bunkers and similar sand traps. It comes with a loft of 54-58 degrees and has both a heavy and wide design when it comes to the sole of the club.
The loft of a wedge refers to the angle at which the club face is situated. Wedges with high lofts will lead to a shot that goes higher than it does far. The higher the loft, the shorter the ball will be hit with each swing. With a higher loft, it will typically not roll as much when it hits the ground. All wedges come with a relatively high loft number, which is measured in degrees. The loft numbers range from 30-60 degrees with this Nike equipment.
